I couldn't just write any old sweet tea recipe, not for KosherEye! Coming from the North, I would be at an extreme disadvantage. So, I went with a gorgeous ruby colored Hibiscus tea.Hibiscus flowers are dried and are used commonly in Mexican, Polynesian, Korean and many other cuisines. The flowers are a natural diuretic, loaded with vitamin C and can help lower blood pressure. The flavor of Hibiscus is tart without being sour and slightly herbaceous. Hibiscus tea is very thirst quenching and refreshing. Serve the tea garnished with sliced fruit and Fruit Ice Cubes.
